§ 72. Sir GEORGE TOULMINasked whether applications are received by the special grants committee from mothers of men who were apprentices when they enlisted; whether a grant is made where there was no dependence according to the regulations; and whether the basis of the grant is the wage the apprentice would have received had he been now working as an adult at his trade?
§ Sir A. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWENI have been asked to reply to this question. The answer to the first two parts of the question is in the affirmative. With regard to the last part, the basis of the grant is the wages the apprentice would have been earning if he had remained in civil life.
